If anyone wants a new copy of the book for $29,150.92 (plus $3.99 shipping), a bookstore in Tennessee would like to sell you one. On that same offer page, a used copy is going for $966.03. And to think that my students complained that Pearson’s more than $100 price tag on Scott and Davis’s Organizations and Organizing was a bit much…

Gabriel, I’m guessing Tilly’s Durable Inequality doesn’t feature a fine array of photos of artwork (a picture is a worth a thousand buckaroos, maybe).
Jerry, I have to wonder if textbook publishers think about their pricing strategy. At certain price points, students balk at buying.
